How did he do that? (attachment search for zelda... and/or too much time on my hands )

That's excellent, Nick. I'm now never going to look for anything ever again. I'm just going to post that I couldn't be stuffed, and wait for you to find it for me. Incidentally, I'm looking for a Roger Whittaker album containing the song Daisy a Day. Oh, yeah, and I've been looking for it since...about June 2003, and I've had search-alerts set up on Google and Ebay all that time. Off you go, there's a good chap...

Hey, I remember seeing TV (info)commercial about his albums along with those of Zamfir many moons ago; don't recall any specific songs though.

...was talking to OH at lunch about the 'Google: A Decade On' article I read this morning. He said that Google's plan for world domination would be greatly advanced if they had subliminal messaging pop up every time someone clicked a link.
Thanks to LS, I was able to advise him that (if I understand it correctly) I would be immune to such tactics because of my longstanding exposure to Eurovision (Terry Wogan ftw - it must be about time for the Eurovision Dance Contest again, launched last year) but that he might have cause to be concerned.
I think he is, in fact, now very concerned, but probably not about Google.....

Device: eb1150 & is that a nook in her pocket, or she just happy to see you?
